He replaces Niall Burke at wing forward and otherwise Galway are unchanged. 

Tadhg de Búrca returns to Waterford starting XV after missing the semi-final through suspension. He will start at wing-back.

Conor Gleeson, after his sending off the last day, misses out. Kieran Bennett moves into midfield to partner Jamie Barron.
